Am I the only one?
Does anyone else do downshifts just to hear the engine sounds?
I find myself slowly cruising down a 15 mph shopping street near me, in electric mode, and just to hear the engine sounds, I'll pop it into sports mode, and blip a downshift. Am I the only one? It sounds so good, I'm doing it for the people. Blipshifts for the kids. I love it in silent mode. I love it more in blipshift mode. That is all.

Blips
Nah, I suspect we all do it at times. Fun in the i8, although I REALLY love to do it in my side-piped '67 427 Corvette too!
